Robert 4. johnson, the subject Of this brief
sketch, was born in Montgomery county,
Tenn, Sept. 4, 1913, and died at his home In
thesame county, Sept 10, 1887, after n pro-
tracted illness OF several months duration.
His stiisiings were Dften very great. but
with true Christian fortitude, he patiently
submitted 10 the will OF Him who doelh all
things for the best.
He Joined the Baptist church when quite
young, and was therefore n membeEz and n
true aud consistent one, for longferm OF
years. For'four years he was faithful, and
brave soldier Of the Southern Army, and
valliantly fought for the cause he deemed to
be just and right. Being a good Christian,
with hopes OF bright future, and eternal
life beyond the shadow Of death, he was not
afraid to die, but expressed himself as being
ready, and willing to go when the summons
come, his only regret being the parting from
his beloved wife, and dear little chlldred
A good ana tue citizen, q kind and loving
husband, and an affectionate father has gone
to his rest May those he loved on earth
seek TO meet him where parting will be no
more forever, within those pure and brish
realms of Heaven is the prayer of friend.
There's something in the parting hour
Which chills the warmest heart,
Yet kindred friends and loved ones
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed 1t on my mind.
The one who has gone is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
God wills 1t so, and so II is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, have lighter hearts
Than all the rest who stay;
And when, at last our dearest ones
Lie down TO death, resigned,
We feel that he is happier far
Than those he leaves behind.
Dearest husband, thou hast left Us,
And thy loss We deeply feel;
But It's God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal,
Yet again we hope TO meet thee,
When tbo day OF life hath fed,
And In Heaven with joy We'll greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
A FRIEND.

of perpetrating q practical joke upon that

right through year columns.
My Information in regard to the item came
through reliable gentleman, of Trenton,

garded it as authentic. This gentleman's
name, will give if required. My acquain-
lance is extensive In southern Kentucky,

10 be true, he sent 1T to the Leaf office. IL
there has been any victim of a practical joke,
